Additional Information: | Built circa 1880 to 1900 is a two-story vernacular dwelling with a metal side gable roof. The building’s windows and siding have been replaced with modern vinyl versions. The dwelling is not entirely visible from the public right-of-way, though a garage addition and a one-story rear addition are visible in aerial imagery. Associated with the property are several outbuildings, all built in the early to mid-20th century. These include a dairy barn with a metal gambrel roof and a concrete and stone base, three sheds with metal gable roofs, and a concrete stave silo. |
